The New York Yankees formally placed designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton on the 10-day injured list Wednesday as he continues to deal with tendinitis in both elbows.
The move was retroactive to Monday.
There is no clear timetable for the 35-year-old Stanton’s return. He was bothered by elbow pain last season when he batted .233 with 27 homers and 72 RBIs in 114 games.
Stanton was one of eight Yankees placed on the IL on Wednesday.
Infielder DJ LeMahieu (left calf strain) was one of the others. He was injured in a spring training game on March 1. LeMahieu, 36, batted .204 with two homers and 26 RBIs in 67 games last season.
Also placed on the injured list were right-handers Clarke Schmidt (rotator cuff tendinitis), Jonathan Loaisiga (right elbow), Ian Hamilton (viral illness), Scott Effross (left hamstring strain), JT Brubaker (left rib fractures) and Clayton Beeter (right shoulder impingement).
New York also optioned right-hander Yerry de los Santos to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
